01-17-14 | Portland Trail Blazers v. San Antonio Spurs -5 | Top | 109-100 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
Two first place teams in the powerful NBA West meet head to head on Friday at 8:30pm as the 31-8 San Antonio Spurs host the 29-9 Portland Trail Blazers. This is the second of four much-anticipated meetings between these clubs. San Antonio will be look for a bit of a payback as the Blazers laid a ten point 115-105 loss on Spurs at the start of the season.
Portland has won their last three, but they haven |

01-16-14 | St Peter's +7 v. Rider | Top | 77-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show |
This is a contest that St. Peter could win Outright so we will take the points tonight. St. Peter has lost to Rider the last few times they have played them so we have some double revenge. St. Peter's starting lineup has grown up a bit as they are primarily juniors and they have experience against the seniors of Rider. This team lost to Rider by 15 on the road last year and has the motivation and revenge
St. Peter has shown bite all year as this is the same team that nearly beat a top 100 Boston team on the road and lost to them by a bucket, beat Seton Hall on the road in overtime, hung against a top 50 Manhattan team at home before losing by 12 and just beat a very good Qunnipac team at home as well. We also have a nice letdown spot for Rider and I expect a tight game throughout. 5* BEST BET |

01-15-14 | Mississippi State v. Alabama -11 | Top | 61-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
Alabama has one of the best defenses in the nation as Anthony Grant teams are known for their defensive prowess and note that Mississippi State is outside the top 240 as it relates to turnover percentage which should be key today. Miss St has played a soft schedule and it will show tonight on the road versus Bama. The Tide usually translate their defense into offense so look for that to be a very key factor today. Look for Alabama to win this contest in a big way. 5*

01-14-14 | Northern Iowa -5.5 v. Southern Illinois | Top | 66-68 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
Upgraded to a 10* BEST BET. Northern Iowa is 3-1 in conference play and coming off a poor shooting game their last time out. UNI made only six of its first 24 from 3-point range on Saturday so expect a much better shooting performance tonight against Southern Illinois who is one of the worst defensive and rebounding teams in the nation. I still thank that Northern Iowa is the stronger team here with the motivation of revenge and being a top 80 turnover margin team on top of that. Northern Iowa is also a top 75 defensive team. The Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 contests when they face a team with a straight up losing record and the Salukis are 0-5 ATS when they face a team with a straight up winning record.

01-12-14 | San Diego Chargers +8.5 v. Denver Broncos | Top | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
San Diego has nothing to lose, they are playing on borrowed money. They have been playing some great defense recently, only allowing 16 pts per game in their last 5 and commanding teams. Besides the fact that Phillip Rivers, has played very good against Denver, overall, he doesn't fear them in the least bit. And they have have some very good solid weapons and Matthews, Woodhead and rookie Keenan Allen. He will be a tough cover for the Broncos, last time they played he scored twice. Denver scarcely beat the Chargers the first time they played, with a great comeback from San Diego, and then lost to them the second time around. It's a division rival and anything can happen and this is their 3rd matchup this season, Chargers keep it closer than many may think. The Chargers are not afraid to come into Denver and play Peyton Manning and the Broncos. They have the right formula to win, Running the ball and 3rd down conversions.
I expect this game to be close through out, and 10 points is to much here. 5* |

01-12-14 | San Francisco 49ers v. Carolina Panthers +3 | Top | 23-10 | Loss | -125 | 4 h 48 m | Show |
Carolina's Ron Rivera expressed that the pressure is on the Niners. I think the Panthers matchup well with them.
The Panthers had the extra week to get ready and they are going to come out sharp on Sunday. They have the recipe to beat San Francisco at home and play the 49ers very well. The 49ers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 meetings and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Carolina. The Panthers are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 home games & are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games on grass. The Panthers also have a very good offensive line and I expect them to be able to run the ball. Look for Carolina to get the job done here at home and Cam Newton to step up and have a monster game. Carolina pulls away in the 2nd half and its our 10* NFL PLayoffs GAME OF THE YEAR! |

01-11-14 | Indianapolis Colts v. New England Patriots -7 | Top | 22-43 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show |
The Patriots' were banged up all season, but still managed to impress in stretches. New England does very well in the REDZONE allowing just 11 touchdowns on the season on the ground.
The Patriots won't mismanage the game the way the Chiefs did. Bill Belichick gets my vote for coach of year for going 12-4 with a team banged up with injuries. They are still without Gronk but getting 2 weeks to prepare and I expect them to eat up the Colts with Tom Brady and Belichick to lockdown Luck. The Patriots beat the Colts 59-24 last November and they have beaten the Colts three straight times over the past three years. Visiting team 5-13 ATS in Colts postseason games. The Patriots are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games and I look for a double digit win here at home on Saturday night. 5* BEST BET. |

01-10-14 | Rider v. Canisius -5.5 | Top | 91-94 | Loss | -102 | 4 h 8 m | Show |
Billy Baron is a very explosive player for Canisius. Canisius lost to this team last year in the last contest they played them and though Jim Barron's Golden Griffins aren't necessarily known for blowing teams out, they are a top 85 offensive efficiency team. With a team led by Billy Baron and Chris Manhertz along with 4 total seniors that contribute actively, don't be surprised to see a motivated Canisius team come out today. What you see is a conference game with a team that lost a contest they should have not on the road, with revenge from losing to this team the last time they played them, the better team facing a Rider team who just lost to Siena by 15 who is outside the top 200. Canisius are 4-1 ATS coming off a loss as well as 4-1 ATS at home of late as well. I expect a double digit win for the home squad tonight. 5*

01-08-14 | Wake Forest v. Virginia -10 | Top | 51-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
Virginia is in a great spot today. Virginia is starting to shoot better and they have to win and win big against lesser teams. Combine that with the fact that Wake comes off a big win against North Carolina at home and you have a nice letdown spot for Wake as they hit the road in ACC play. Virginia has a balanced attack on offense and plays tough defense. Wake is off a big win and is not a good road team. Virginia looks to be in a solid spot today. We have revenge and motivation for our squad here and downward motivation for the opposing squad. Let's look for Virginia to pull away in the 2nd half and win this one comfortably by 13-20 points.

01-07-14 | Golden State Warriors -10 v. Milwaukee Bucks | Top | 101-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
The Golden State Warriors are the hottest thing going in the NBA, coming into Sunday with an eight-game winning streak. That includes four straight victories to open their season-long seven-game road trip which wraps up this week with games in Washington, Milwaukee and Brooklyn. With the Golden State offensive attack in mid-season form and the defense putting together some impressive stretches, Golden State could run the table on its road trip - and is rewarded with seven of its next nine games at home. Did you know the Golden State Warriors have lost to the Milwaukee Bucks the last 3 times they have played them? The Warriors lost to this team both times in 2013 and in lost to them in 2012 to boot as well which means they have not beat the Bucks since 2011. I'm sure that is not lost on Coach Jackson as he faces this team today on the road. The Warriors have traditionally done well in revenge games such as beating the Magic recently on the road in a similar situation as the Magic beat this team twice last year in a sweep and the Warriors got their revenge this year beating them as -6.5 favorites. Milwaukee is not a good team and cannot guard the Golden St perimeter shooters. The Bucks are also 1-8 ATS in their last 9 contests against the Western Conference. Look for the Warriors to get a big win tonight!

01-06-14 | Auburn v. Florida State -9 | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
We had another HUGE Bowl season and on a current 15-6 tear in the Bowls and Monday night we are going to finish strong! We cashed big in last years BCS game with Alabama BIG over ND. In the last 15 BCS Championship games the actual spread didn't even factor on the game. Either the underdog won outright or the favorite won big!
I look for that trend to continue tonight! Hopefully it will be just as easy as last year was. First off Florida State's Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston is very good and so is the FSU defense. He leads a Seminoles offense that leads the nation with 90 touchdowns while ranking second in scoring at 53 points per game with a low output of 37 points. This will be the difference here he Seminoles scoring so fast the Tigers run oriented offense will be forced to play catch up and this is how this game will turn into a blowout for Florida State as their defense ranks first nationally in scoring defense (10.7) and passing defense (152 per game) and third in total defense (268.5). While the same can't be said for the Auburn defense that is allowing 24 points per game and ranks 88th in total defense (423.5) and 104th in passing defense (260.2). Florida State has had five weeks to put together a defensive game plan and practice containing this unusual Auburn option offense. The Seminoles have quick and talented LBs in Terrance and Telvin Smith, plus DE Christian Jones provides an athletic defender on the edge. Florida State has been exceptional against the run for most of the season and we expect nothing less here. The Seminoles barely broke a sweat this entire season. Bottom line Florida State rolls to the dominating win and the National Championship. 10* |

01-05-14 | San Diego Chargers v. Cincinnati Bengals -6.5 | Top | 27-10 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
This year the Bengals get to play their playoff game at home in the jungle where they went a perfect 8-0 both straight up and against the spread this season! San Diego must do a good job dominanting the time of possession. And we have the history of the Chargers, come playoff time, no matter their record, they seem to collapse. West Coast team playing early in the cold weather on Sunday.
Cincinnati has been just devastating opponents at home and the D is even more destructive their than it has been away. With the defense playing lights out, Bengals do what they need to do at home. Cincinnati is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games at home. After a perfect 8-0 home campaign during the regular season, look for Cincy to extend things to 9-0 with the playoff home win and cover today against San Diego. 5* |

01-04-14 | Kansas City Chiefs v. Indianapolis Colts | Top | 44-45 | Loss | -125 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
KC RB "Mr. Everything," Jamal Charles and his 19 TDs is going to tough to defend. I also think that being on the road helps Alex Smith, playing in a dome, I see him playing better particularly since it will be easier for speedster Jamal Charles to run on artificial turf. The Colts went into KC a couple of weeks ago and got the win and expect the Chiefs to return the favor today. KC didn't have Justin Houston for that game. He is an elite pass rusher and hasn't played since week 12, so the Chiefs will instantly become better defensively.
Don't be fooled by Andy Reid as many believe he is holding a restaurant menu on the sidelines and not a playsheet. He is a very good coach and knows how to prepare his teams for road games. Kansas City proved they have great depth almost beating SD last week while resting almost all of their starters. Indianapolis played all out last week for seeding purposes and paid for it with some defensive injuries. Kansas City is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. Indianapolis is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games played in January. 10* NFL PLAYOFFS GAME OF THE WEEK |

01-04-14 | Houston v. Vanderbilt -2 | Top | 24-41 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
I feel inside though that with Vandy's defense and SEC schedule and feel they have a big advantage in this one. Vandy has a stone wall defense, that can shut it down fast. Houston is a turnover machine, in a good way sitting at +25 on the season in the turnover margin, this is tremendous stat but Vandy doesn't turn the ball over and a very smart team. With their big time WR as well, Deontay Greenberry and 76 rec, 1106 yds, and 10 tds he can make teams back peddle end-to-end. I don

01-03-14 | Clemson +3 v. Ohio State | Top | 40-35 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
The big question in this one is whether or not OSU will be focused after losing the Big-10 title game and their chance at playing for a national title. Just like last night OHio St's bubble has been popped just like Alabama's and the key players don't want to hurt themselves as they prepare for the NFL draft.
Clemson comes into the game with their high powered offensive attack, and a high-octane passer in Tajh Boyd. Lighting up opponents for 40/game, and a top ended passing attack, ranking them 11th in the nation. Coming in off their loss vs #10 South Carolina L 31-17 , they need to focus on this game even more. I am expecting this to be one of the more entertaining bowls, with 2 of the nation's most prolific offenses on display. The explosive offense of Clemson make this worth watching, without question. CLemson lost its last Orange Bowl 70-33 so you can bet your hairy asses, they'll be more prepared this time. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games and I like Clemson here to get the win and all of the Oranges. 5* |

01-02-14 | Milwaukee Bucks v. Utah Jazz -5.5 | Top | 87-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
The Bucks are a very bad team.
There record is 7-24 overall and 4-12 on the road. They are coming off a big win against the Lakers, the Bucks likely regress back to the Bucks in their hopes of landing Parker or Wiggins in the lottery next season. Utah comes off a difficult win over the Bobcats where Charlotte is a strong defensive team and likely opens up their offense a bit more today as the Bucks are not as tough defensively and cannot guard the perimeter. After a sub par offensive performance against Charlotte, look for Utah to have success here at home. The Bucks are 0-4 ATS coming off a straight up win of more than 10 points and the home team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings between these two teams. The Jazz have also won 11 consecutive home games against the Bucks and I expect a double digit victory here tonight! 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK |

01-01-14 | Iowa +8.5 v. LSU | Top | 14-21 | Win | 100 | 2 h 12 m | Show |
This is another game where the starting quarterback is injured. LSU's Mettenberger is out and true freshman Anthony Jennings will be making his first start. This is a huge downgrade and one that Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz should have plenty of time to capitalize on.
Ferentz is not a stranger to being a underdog in a bowl game either so he will have his troops ready to put up a fight as he is 6-2 ATS his last 8 games as an underdog in bowl games. Iowa has the better quarterback in this game clearly and they have a running game that will wear opposing defenses out. Iowa has the edge on Special Teams as well. I also like the fact that Iowa's punter pinned almost half of his punts inside the 20 yard line this season and I can see Iowa pulling the upset in this one. 5* |

12-31-13 | Virginia Tech +8 v. UCLA | Top | 12-42 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 15 m | Show |
Virginia Tech has a great defense, only giving up about 17 a game. UCLA will need to score more than that to win this thing. Frank Beamer has his squad bowling for the 21st straight year. That is the longest streak in the nation. It must be respected and he has the experience. Beamer and DC Bud Foster continue to churn out top defensive units. Not too mention a special teams squad that always seems to make key plays. The Hokies will slow the tempo and it wouldn't shock me to see them with a chance for the outright win here. Virginia Tech has a ton of speed and is well coached. VTech also has the edge on Special Teams. UCLA is 110th in pass protection and Virginia Tech was #1 in sack percentage. I expect a low scoring game so look for the Underdog Hokies to get us the cash.

12-29-13 | Cleveland Browns v. Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 | Top | 7-20 | Win | 100 | 17 h 33 m | Show |
Look for Pitt to establish the run which will open up the passing game for Big Ben here on Sunday afternoon against a Browns team who has pretty much given up. Cleveland got hot for a few weeks with wins over Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Buffalo. Since that nice little streak, they have gone 1-9 and haven't been competitive at all. The Browns at 4-11 are one of the NFL's worst teams. I fuly expect Mike Tomlin's group to beat the Browns handily taking advantage of a defense that has struggled in recent weeks. Cleveland didn't allow any opponent to top 370 yards for the first 12 games of the year -- then proceeded to cough up 484 against the Patriots, 440 against the Bears and 422 against the Jets. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has scored 30 and 38 points the past two weeks and the offesne has looked great. Le'Veon Bell was the key against the Packers last Sunday,posting his first career 100-yard rushing game in the win. We like the Steelers to take a game they need badly to even up their record at 8-8 and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. STEELERS by 17.

Michigan is slumping, losers of 4 of their last 5 games. They play no defense, giving up 26.5 a game, including 24+ 7 times on the season. For years the Big 10 has been publicized as some of the most decorated, respected and dominant football programs to ever play college football. They need this win more, bottom line. And even though finishing bad, we know they can play, look what they did vs. OSU. Where they looked deadly. Playing against the Kansas State Wildcats, who really have been starting to play to their potential late in the season, scoring 30+ easily a game. They can blitz well and they have to be capable to stop the run. Although they play tight games, most of the time, I expect this to be the same throughout, but enough to cover. Kansas State is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games and the Wildcats are the better team on both sides of the ball and also better coached. 5*

12-28-13 | Miami (Florida) +4.5 v. Louisville | Top | 9-36 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
I really like Miami over Louisville here on Saturday evening, taking the points. Miami has established already that it can score on just about anyone at anytime even in the absence of RB Duke Johnson. Miami can shut down opponents in the air, with one of the best pass defenses in the NCAA and now healthy after being off and rested since Nov 29th. However, this has been somewhat of a breakout season for the Hurricanes and Coach Al Golden has the program on the upswing. Perhaps in another year or two, the Hurricanes could return to prominence just as their rivals have done over in Tallahassee. A stepping stone would be capturing a marquee victory over a top opponent which could be accomplished when they meet Louisville in Orlando. Miami can throw up big points in bunches, scoring 35.9 ppg, led principally by their RB Dallas Crawford and his 12 Tds. Louisville comes in with the big name QB Teddy Bridgewater and his gaudy numbers 3523 yds, and 28 TD against a cupcake schedule. And even with their soft schedule, after the UCF game, they have looked very mediocre at best. Louisville is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games. TAKE THE MIAMI HURRICANES playing in their home state here on Saturday evening. 5*

12-25-13 | Chicago Bulls v. Brooklyn Nets -3 | Top | 95-78 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
Jason Kidd had a closed door meeting with the team last night and I expect them to be focused for this primetime TV Christmas afternoon game and this is also a playoff revenge game for the Nets. Derrick Rose is out and also Luol Deng for the Bulls. The Nets shot just 38.2 percent from the field Monday night while missing 20 of 26 from beyond the arc after averaging 106.9 points on 49.4 percent shooting -- including 47.2 from 3-point range -- in their previous seven games. Joe Johnson finished with 17 points, but Garnett had 12 on 3-of-10 shooting and Deron Williams added nine while missing 6 of 9 from the field. Pierce, who went 0 for 7 before getting ejected for a flagrant foul on Indiana's George Hill, failed to score for only the second time in his 15-year career. Pierce was fined $15,000 on Tuesday for the foul. The Nets got Jason Terry back and he scored 11 after missing 15 games with a bruised left knee, and Kidd could be getting more help with Andrei Kirilenko (back) hoping to return against the Bulls for this game. The floor general is Deron Williams with his balance of power in favor of Brooklyn. Chicago really struggles on the road and I'll back the Brooklyn Nets at home in this one.

12-24-13 | Oregon State -3 v. Boise State | Top | 38-23 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
I like the Oregon State Beavers -3 here on Tuesday. Oregon State lost their last 5 games of the season so they are hungry to go off on a high note especially with a senior laden team led by their QB Sean Mannion. They faced 5 top 50 pass defenses down the stretch and 3 were in the top 20.
Oregon State is ranked 3rd in the nation with a passing play % of 65% so to beat them you have to be able to stop the pass which is evident by their struggles down the stretch vs. top passing defenses of the PAC 12. Boise is not very good at stopping the pass and Sean Mannion feasted on his other opponents this year with 29 TD's and only 4 INT if you were not ranked in the top 50 in pass defense. He has a serious weapon in Brandin Cooks who was the nation's best WR winning the Fred Biletnikoff Award. Oregon State's pass defense has been great all year coming up with a 115 QB rating allowed in road games. with 15 interceptions and Boise lost when they couldn't pass having a QB rating that was 61 points less in their losses. Boise St will be coached by one of their assistant coaches for this way and also without their QB. Boise is a respectable 31st in passing yards for, 32nd in rushing yards for, and 17th in rushing yards for but the Broncos, although highly capable, seem to be wandering around in a drunken stupor waiting to make a play. That attitude will get you beat against the better teams and it is also the reason why Boise cannot |

12-23-13 | Ohio v. East Carolina -14.5 | Top | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show |
East Carolina is a perfect 9-0 ATS following their last nine straight up losses and East Carolina is a good team, probably much better than Ohio, This team was absolutely trucked in their last game by Marshall by a score of 28-59 and they will be itching and hungry to get back on the field. This is the same team that beat NC State 42-28 earlier this year and has one of the most dynamic offenses in the country scoring 63 against UAB and 58 against Tulsa. This team has also covered 4 of its last 5 and as they come off one of their worst losses of the year, I like them to bounce-back here.
Ohio comes off a huge win against UMass and they have struggled against similar top 140 teams such as Kent losing 13-44 or against Buffalo losing 3-30 and I like ECU and their top 30 defense to step up here against Ohio is a top 90 ranked offense overall. With ECU's balanced attack as a top 30 offense as well as top 30 defense, I like ECU big by 24 or more points here Monday afternoon. 5* |

12-22-13 | Chicago Bears +3 v. Philadelphia Eagles | Top | 11-54 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
PLAY THE CHICAGO BEARS Jay Cutler came back last week and threw for 265 yards with 3 passing touchdowns to lead the Bears to victory. Both star receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery came up with huge plays down the stretch to help the cause and they should both do well against the eagles secondary. Marshall led the team with 6 catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. While Jeffery added yet another brilliant 45 yard touchdown grab between two defenders which was one of the plays of the week. Jeffery has been making those big plays consistently the last few weeks which has been pivotal in helping the Bears overcome their defensive woes and continue to win games.
Marshall and Jeffery are both big physical receivers that seem to always come down with the football. Now both receivers will get the chance to continue their impressive play against one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Philadelphia ranks 2nd to last against the pass allowing 292 yards per game. The Eagles are also 3-18 ATS on the second game of back to back games that they are favored. Also, it Dallas wins earlier in the day which they are favored to do then the Eagles wont have anything to play for and might rest players. I'll take the veteran QB with Jay Cutler and the Bears here on Sunday night plus the 3 points. 10* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH |

Colorado State is in the midst of turning around their long-tormented program. Going 7-6 this season, after winning 7 games over their last 2 seasons. Colorado State likes to forge it forward with power RB Kapri Bibbs, the nations leading TD rusher, with 28 on the season. And his massive 1,572 YDs, good for 6.2 yards per carry. When looking at this game, I 'd first like to look at the fact that Colorado State has a well-balanced double deuce offense led by Garrett Grayson and his 3,000+ passing yards and RB Kapri Bibbs and his 1,500+ rushing yards. .They finished the season on a 5-2 SUATS run and were 5-2 'ITS' as well. Wash St QB Halliday tends to throw too many interceptions as his 28 TD/ 21 INT mark is evident.
There might be sloppy weather for this game with 15-20 MPH winds and showers and that will favor Colorado State and their strong rushing attack and stiff defense. Another advantage that Colorado State has is they already played in this stadium this season. Also, it can be noted that Colorado State HC McElwain was the offensive coordinator under Nick Saban before getting the job here for the Rams. "This is an exciting day not only for our team and our program, but for fans of Colorado State who have waited five years for the chance to go back to a bowl game," said coach Jim McElwain, who also turned a program around in his second year. I know Nick Saban is known for having his teams ready to play in bowl games, and I have to think that McElwain will do the same with plenty of time to prepare for this one. Statistically, Colorado State has the better offense and the better defense and I like Colorado State with the points in this game. 10* College Bowl Underdog Gem on COLORADO STATE +6 |

12-20-13 | Brooklyn Nets v. Philadelphia 76ers +6 | Top | 120-121 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show |
These 2 teams just met on Monday. The Nets have a losing spread record on the road. Point guard Deron Williams is back, but Brook Lopez just went down again With a sprained ankle. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have been huge busts up to this Point for the Nets. The Nets just gave Philly a beat down, 130-94, on Monday. Looking at that game, the Nets shot 60% as a team, including Joe Johnson and his 10 three pointers in that game. I think the 76ers will be prepared for him tonight. For Philly, their first round pick, Michael-Carter Williams is expected back for this game. He has practiced the last two days and should play tonight. Carter-Williams means ALOT to this Philly team. They are 1-10 on the season without Carter-Williams, but are 6-9 with him. The guy is averaging 18 ppg/ 7 apg/ 6 rpb and can do it all. With revenge on their minds I like the 76ers plus the points. 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

The losses are heavy for NC State this year but the Wolfpack have done a great job of reloading with some great young talent. They have a centerpiece in future NBA 1st round pick T.J. Warren. Warren is averaging 23 ppg and is solid at the foul line at 76%. N.C. State also has LSU transfer Ralston Turner who is a 6'7" guard that plays the wing and is a natural leader on the court. So HC Gotfried has talent in the backcourt and depth to go with it. This is NC State's first road game in a month but I think they matchup well with the Vols. While Tennessee might be the bigger team in the paint tonight they still will not have an answer for T.J. Warren and the Wolfpack have the advantage in the backcourt. This will be a close game throughout and I like the 7.5 points and the underdog NC State Woldpack tonight. 5*

The Hoya's are a perfect 4-0 SU at home this year, but their last 3 home games have been against very weak opponents. Also, Georgetown has not played in 10 days now and has not played a worthy opponent in almost 3 weeks now and might be looking ahead to be big game against Kansas coming up.
Elon is an experienced team that returns all 5 starters from last year. They have two senior forwards that are both legitimate scorers in the paint. Troutman and Beaumont are averaging 26 ppg/ 10 rebounds. Elon is ranked 10th in the nation with a 43.6 3 point field goal percentage. They are also a good free throw shooting team at 72.6%. I dont expect Elon to pull the upset but they'll keep this game within 8-12 points as the final margin. 10* College Underdog Game of the Month |

The Bears played a near perfect game after not even punting against the Cowboys. Its very hard to come back after a game like that. And now their rhythm will be changed with Cutler back in the lineup. Chicago cannot stop the running game as has been proven several times this season, giving up 157 on then ground. The effect of Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has been amazing. And they have Jordan Cameron is a top 5 TE in the league. PLAY THE CLEVELAND BROWNS. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

I am backing the Los Angeles Clippers to get a road win and cover as they close out their 7 game road swing in D.C.against the Wizards. Doc Rivers has had an emotional couple of days, as his new team has made stops in Boston and Brooklyn. Now after a day off the Clippers look to make this a winning road swing, as they are 3-3 straight up and against the spread on this trek, and they do have the benefit of a night's rest on Friday on their side. Washington was on court last night in Atlanta and went OT, and the Wizards are just 1-8 straight up the last 9 series meetings, with a 3-5-1 against the spread mark in the last 9 showdowns. Chris Paul is off his worst game of the season and I expect a big bounce back for him tonight! Take L.A. as the road chalk. 5*

Everybody knew the retooled Celtics were going to be bad, but for the Knicks to be rven worse is shocking. The teams just met this past Sunday as the Celtics had little to no trouble disposing of the Knicks coming away with a 114-73 victory in New York. The Knicks have been more effective on the road going 6-4 ATS during their first 10 away matchups compared to 1-8 ATS through their first nine games at Madison Square Garden. With some major 41 point revenge fresh on their minds I like the New York Knicks to clamp down defensively and get the win here on Friday night at Boston.

Princeton looks to be getting better and finding people who can play off the bench is a good thing. Freshman Denton Koon has come off the bench to average 12.1 points. The Tigers have won 5 straight while Rutgers has lost 5 straight to Division 1 opponents. Rutgers is 0-2 against in-state opponents this season & are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. The Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Rugers wont be able to handle their style here and Princeton is the more fundamental team and should win by double digits. 5*

Tucker had 18 points and 13 rebounds versus his old team that drafted him. The LA Lakers (10-10) come off a 94-106 loss at home to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Kobe Bryant had 9 points, 8 rebounds and 8 turnovers in his much talked about return. The Suns are a very dangerous team this year and profitable going 11-2 ATS as the underdog this season and 9-2 ATS on the road. The Lakers are still trying to get used to life with Kobe Bryant back in the lineup and I expect some more struggles here. Pau Gasol has been in a slump, averaging 11.3 points and 30.9 percent shooting in the last four games. Los Angeles is the worst defensive team in the Western Conference, allowing 103.0 points per game, and it's given up at least 100 in four straight contests for the first time this season.

I guess too many people forgot what the Lions did on Thanksgiving as their offense and defense were great. They ripped GB a new ass. .Detroit also got an extra 3 days to prepare for this game and their defense is much better than the Eagles and it will show on Sunday. Nick Foles is gonna see a lot of heat and pressure. I just cant see the eagles defense slowing down Stafford, Megatron, and Reggie Bush. We are backing the Detroit Lions +3.

Miami's Mike Wallace gets to play against his former team, and show them what he can do, his blistering speed will be a tough handle, but Ike Taylor will likely be matched up with him throughout the day, and can match up with his aggressiveness. The Dolphins will make the most of their D-line and explosive young, DE Oliver Vernon to attack repeatedly on the weakened O-line of Pittsburgh. This is a big game with possible playoff significance's all over it. Banged up and beat up Pittsburgh, comes limping in yet again, with injuries and the team being carried along with more turmoil after Head coach Mike Tomlins field episode .

Ohio State's offense trumps Michigan State's defense plus the Buckeyes' defense is underrated. The Buckeyes have played with big leads in many of their games so their defensive numbers are somewhat skewed. Michigan State hasn't faced an offense nearly this good, nor a quarterback anywhere near the caliber of Braxton Miller, nor a running back as good as Carlos Hyde. The Buckeyes are No. 3 in the nation in scoring at 48.2 points a game and rank sixth in total yards at 531. Ohio State's win streak nearly ended at 23 this past week against Michigan but they'll play much better today. I like Urban Meyer off a big scare as he'll have his boys prepared and motivated. I see the Buckeyes coming in with their A game. 10* College Game of the Week

I'm taking MIzzu in the SEC Championship.. I believe left it all in the tank last week and are off a huge emotional high. Missouri has to feel like they are getting no respect for the lack of media attention and that just fuels them and fits in with their season long mantra. Nobody thought this Missouri team belonged last year, but very quietly Gary Pinkel has his team in contention to get to Pasadena. Their offense is balanced and as explosive as any offense is with Henry Josey at RB averaging well over 6 ypc, James Franklin an accurate mistake free QB, and the big receivers in a spread offense that's going to be a nightmare for Auburn's over rated defense. Auburn struggled vs. Georgia and A&M both who have balanced offenses with tall receivers. Mizzu has 3 receivers over 6'4. I feel this is just a bad match up for Auburn. Mizzou Tigers offense has been clicking and QB for Mizzou is getting healthy everyday so look for QB James Franklin to out-perform the QB of Auburn. Mizzou is 8-1-1 ATS following a SU win and Mizzou is 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games. Auburn will get their yards, but Missouri will force the turnovers and be more explosive on offense on the turf with their speed Mizzu pulls away for a double digit win.

New Orleans plays very well on MNF cashing their last 5 and well rested. Sproles is back tonight for the Saints which is huge for Special Teams and out of the backfield. Brees is having a spectacular season and I like him as an underdog here tonight to pull the upset. New Orleans has won three straight, but it's had to squeak out the last two by a combined seven points. After setting a franchise record with 625 total yards three weeks ago in a 49-17 win over Dallas, the offense has been less-than-stellar the past two weeks, but the Saints still rank third in the NFL in total yards per game and second in passing yards. The defense, often a weakness for New Orleans, has been rejuvenated under coordinator Rob Ryan and has allowed more than 400 total yards only once all season. Saints are playing as well as anyone right now with only losses to Jets by 6 and improbable loss to New England, so we will grab points here tonight. The game played on Turf and the Saints offense is very explosive. 5*

The Falcons showed last Thursday night in a 17-14 home loss to the New Orleans Saints that they have not given up on the season and I do expect them to carry that same focus against the Bills. If Buffalo had any advantage at all in this one, it was the home field but this game is being played indoors at the Rogers Center in Toronto where the Bills are 1-4 in their five games played there. Matt Ryan comes back into form and has a big game over the Buffalo Bills and the dome advantage is HUGE for the Falcons here. 10* Game of the Week

The Cardinals have won four in a row, but the victims were three teams going nowhere (Falcons, Texans and Jaguars) and one floundering of late (Colts) with three of the wins coming at home. Now they're back on the road playing an early game for a west coast team and that puts them at a disadvantage before getting on the field. It is also very cold in Philly which Arizona will not be used to. Philadelphia is rested and on a roll, having beaten Washington at home plus Green Bay and Oakland on the road prior to a bye. Nick Foles (16 TDs, 0 INTs this season) completed 71 percent of his passes with 10 TDs during the streak.
The Eagles' defense has held seven straight foes to 21 points or less. They've got to put pressure on Carson Palmer, who's been sacked 30 times already this season and is NOT mobile. With Arizona's ground game next to non-existent, the pressure will literally be on Palmer to produce and I'll take Philly in this matchup 5* |

I like Big Red in their final home game against Iowa here on Friday afternoon in the early kickoff. The Hawkeyes quarterback is a disaster waiting to happen. Jake Ruddock has been picked off 12 times this season, three of those interceptions came at home against Michigan last week. Nebraska will stack the line and force Iowa to pass the ball. Neb will likely go with backup quarterback Ron Kellogg III a duel threat QB. The senior completed 20-of-34 attempts for 221 yards and a touchdown in last week's and he's done a good job protecting the football with smart decisions, with five touchdowns and just a single interception this season. Ameer Abdullah is very good and will need a big performence today. He's run for at least 100 yards in 10 of his 11 games this season. The Nebraska seniors will be pumped up for their final home game and I look for Nebraska to get a big win.

The Cowboys have one of the worst defenses they have put on the field in a while and that can keep Oakland hanging around within this big number. Oakland should have won against Tenn but Janikoski missed 2 rare FG's. Expect a heavy dose of running from the Raiders as Dallas has allowed 169, 242 and 202 yards rushing in its last three games. The Cowboys are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games following a win while going 0-6 ATS in their last six games in the second half of the season against teams with a losing record. Oakland hasn't been turning the ball over and as long as they don't have 3 or more turnovers, they'll cover this 9 pt spread on Turkey Day. The only thing holding me back from making this a 10* play is the fact that this is the Raiders 3rd game in 11 days. 5*

Green Bay has struggled since Aaron Rodgers went down. The Packers have since gone 0-3-1 straight-up and 0-4 ATS. Rodgers is worth about 10 points in my opinion and the Packers just played 5 quarters of football on Sunday in their overtime game and got beat up pretty good. The Lions have been awful on Thanksgiving Day at home for several years now, but most of that was because they were an awful team in general. The Lions have come a long way since finishing last season 0-8. I expect Stafford and Megatron to have huge games on the National TV stage on Thanksgiving afternoon. The Lions also had 5 turnovers last week and their defense is better than people think. This is a statement game and the Lions are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 after gaining over 350 yards in their previous game. The Lions roll big time this afternoon over the punchless Packers. 10*

UNLV has not played since that loss against the Sun Devils which was a week ago so hey have had time to work on things and make adjustments heading into this game. While they lost to Arizona St. By six points, the fact that every starter scored in double-figures is a huge factor. The Runnin' Rebels should have a big edge inside in the paint as forward Roscoe Smith leads the nation in rebounding average with 16.3 rpg and has recorded back-to-back games with at least 21 rebounds while forward Khem Birch is second in the country in blocked shots with 5.5 per game and has had a career-high eight blocks in each of the last two games. Illinois is 5-0 but have played the easiest schedule in the nation. Additionally, this is their first road game of the season and it comes in a very tough environment. Take UNLV here at home to notch their first win. 5*

Following this matchup, the Titans play at Indianapolis and Denver. They won't be favored in those games. So this becomes Tennessee's key MUST WIN game. It's certainly winnable. Oakland's Rookie QB Matt McGloin became Oakland's 15th starting quarterback since 2005 and led the Raiders to a surprising Road win against Houston this past Sunday.

The Ole Miss secondary is more physical than what Missouri is accustomed to facing. Earlier this season, the Rebels upset LSU here. They needed a last-second FG to Get over the hump, but it was a clean win. Ole Miss out-yarded LSU 525-388 and Did it without their top RB, Jeff Scott, who returned last week. Prior to missing Three games with a bone spur, Scott was averaging 8.2 YPR. Scott was limited to 13 touches last week as Ole Miss set a school record for total offense; his role will Inevitably expand today. Missouri is allowing 111.9 yards per game on the ground but has been vulnerable through the air, ranking last with 274.9 yards allowed. That would appear to be good news for Rebels quarterback Bo Wallace, fourth in the league with 266.4 passing yards per game, but the Tigers also lead the SEC with 34 sacks and 17 interceptions. Ole Miss HC Hugh Freeze is 25-8 ATS over the last two- Plus seasons.

We really like what Utah State has done with their team since having to replace QB Chuckie Keeton. They struggled last week a bit with UNLV, but have been scoring over 31 ppg. They are very talented on both sides of the ball. The story, however, has been their defense, as they are holding opponents to just over 19 ppg. Interesting stat here....in games against common opponents, Colorado St has given up an average of 36.5 ppg while Utah State has only allowed 16.5 ppg. The Aggies defense and home cooking spells a HUGE VICTORY for Utah State. 10* Home Cooking BURIAL!

11-23-13 | Michigan +6 v. Iowa | Top | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show |
Michigan averages 34.3 PPG and has the #19th ranked defense allowing only 347.6 yards per game. QB Devin Gardner with 25 total TD's has 2 top receivers's in Jeremy Gallon and Devin Funchess who both average 16.3 yards per catch. Michigan struggled last week but that game was in the rain and mud. These defenses matchup with each other but Michigan has way too many playmakers on offense and as long as they protect the football they will win this game SU. Michigan routed Iowa 42-17 last year and much hasn't changed for these 2 squads. Take the Wolverines. 5*

11-22-13 | Oklahoma -1.5 v. Seton Hall | Top | 86-85 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 24 m | Show |
The Sooners haven't been tested much this season but the team is playing fast paced basketball and very well on the offensive end shooting great from the perimeter. Their defense has been stellar as well which has made this Sooners team look good so far. They face Seton Hall in the semi's of the Cancer Classic. Seton Hall also has been playing okay so far but did lose to Mercer. I see the Sooners out lasting the Pirates in this one down the stretch. The Pirates are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big 12 & just 14-30 ATS in their last 44 neutral site games. Oklahoma is your winner here. 5*

11-20-13 | Iowa State v. Brigham Young -6.5 | Top | 90-88 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
This is a revenge game for BYU as last year they lost by 21. This year, they get the Cyclones in their building where they have gone 32-6 straight up their last 38 (25 of 30 when favored) and have a long-term ATS home record of 119-84. This will be ISU's first ever trip to the Marriott Center. The Cougars are likely to get back guard Taylor Haws into the lineup after he missed the last two games w/ an abdominal strain. With or without Haws in the lineup, BYU's offense has gotten the job done this year. In racing out to a 4-0 SU start, the team is averaging 96.3 PPG on better than 50% shooting. They have already topped 100 points twice and shoot from the perimeter very well.
BYU is also catching the Cyclones in a prime letdown situation as ISU is ranked for the 1st time in two years thanks to an upset of then #7 Michigan over the weekend. That game was at home and Fred Hoiberg's team closed the game on a shocking 23-10 run in front of a packed house as now have to travel to BYU. This will be their first time playing on the road this year and I expect BYU to get the best of them. 10* |

Cam Newton is off his biggest win of his career winning at SF and now playing a primetime game on MNF. I love Belichick off a BYE week with 2 weeks to prepare and the Patriots are off a BYE and now healthy on both sides of the ball. NE is getting 3 pts and scored a ton of points their last time out. Ridley will rush the ball because the Panthers will have to cover all of the NE spread it out with WR's and Gronk. With a revolving cast of characters at receiver and at running back, Brady has managed to keep the Patriots offense in the top-10 in a few categories, but there

11-17-13 | San Francisco 49ers +3.5 v. New Orleans Saints | Top | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
I am backing the SF 49ers here on Sunday in NFL action. My reports say that Davis and Reid will play here. SF is very good off a loss and they played awful last week. A game in which they managed a mere 46 passing yards. New Orleans is off a huge primetime win where they blew up Dallas 49-17 and set an NFL record for most 1st downs in a game. I believe the 49ers win this game outright. They are coming off a loss and are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 games following a SU loss. I think this is a terrible match up for the Saints and the 49ers should be able to run on the Saints who are 32nd in run defense in yards per carry allowed while they are 22nd in rushing offense. The 49ers will have success running the ball and that will mean Colin Kaepernick is having success too thru the air and with his legs!

11-17-13 | Detroit Lions v. Pittsburgh Steelers +3 | Top | 27-37 | Win | 100 | 3 h 3 m | Show |
This is a must win game for the Steelers to keep their hopes alive. They do come in with winning 2 straight at home vs. Buffalo and Baltimore. Detroit comes off a signature road win over the Bears last week and I don't think they can win back to back road games. Steelers Ike Taylor is quietly shutting down every elite WR that's thrown at him and we have all seen how this Lions offense struggles when they don't have Calvin Johnson having a huge game. I Meanwhile the Steelers win games when they can run the ball and the Lions are ranked 25th in run defense. They have been able to score into the 20's in each of their games against bad running defenses and I think that's enough to win. The Steelers are not as bad as their record shows as they are allowing just 250 total yards at home. Detroit is 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 November games. Lets play the PIttsburgh Steelers on Sunday. 10* Home Cooking Play

11-17-13 | Baltimore Ravens v. Chicago Bears -3 | Top | 20-23 | Push | 0 | 3 h 2 m | Show |
This Sunday the Bears will start back-up QB Josh McCown when hosting Baltimore. While starting QB Jay Cutler played last Sunday he looked sore and his injured arm didn't allow him to make the throws that were needed to win the game so the Bears lost 21-19 to Detroit. QB McCown looked solid when beating Green Bay two weeks ago 27-20 and throwing for 271 yards. Expect the Chicago offense to look better at home this Sunday against a Raven's team that's struggles away from home posting a 1-4 SU & ATS road record. I'm back the home squad with the better defense and specials teams at home. 5*

11-16-13 | Michigan v. Northwestern -2.5 | Top | 27-19 | Loss | -116 | 6 h 28 m | Show |
This afternoon I like Northwestern over Michigan, giving the points. NW is just 4-5 and need to win 2 of their final 3 games to become Bowl eligible. This is their most important game as NW is home and coming off their BYE week and playing with revenge from last years loss. Michigan has struggled with unsteady QB play behind Devin Gardner, who has thrown 14 TDs and 11 picks. And Gardner has really only had 2 really good games this year, odds are telling me he will struggle against a very good pass coverage with the Wildcats. They lack a solid offensive line, giving up 7 sacks vs. MSU, and have been struggling on 3rd downs in their last 2 games, coming in losers of 3 of the last 4 games. The Wolverines seem to be crashing back to reality after their red hot start on the season. Northwestern is a much better team than their subpar 4-5 record would suggest, they play the pass good, and can stop teams from getting key 1st downs on the field. I think Northwestern will put up some points and pull away in the second half for a double digit win. Michigan is also 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games.

11-16-13 | Oklahoma State -3 v. Texas | Top | 38-13 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
The Texas Longhorns have won six straight, but their game at West Virginia last week proved to be costly, as they lost two of their top players due to injury. - Texas had already lost starting quarterback David Ash, and linebacker Jordan Hicks prior to last week. Now losing star running back Jon Gray and DT Chris Whaley leaves even bigger holes in the lineup.
While Brown is just as talented as Gray, one can't do it without the other. They both average around 18-19 carries per game and when one of them is out, it's going to be really tough for the other one to pick up that slack. The Longhorns are going to be forced to pass the ball more than they want, and that plays right into Oklahoma State's hands. The OSU run game will keep the Texas offense on the sidelines longer and I look for OKL ST to win this one going away big! The Cowboys have won their last two visits to Texas, both by double-digits. They have won their last two road games by a combined 49 points, and one of those was at #15 ranked Texas Tech. 10* |

11-15-13 | Washington +3 v. UCLA | Top | 31-41 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
We have another good game on Friday night college football here with Washington U and UCLA. Stats wise, Washington is a very good team. The Huskies rank in the top 25 with their passing offense, rushing offense, and points scored per game. These guys are good and can compete with the best of them. A record of 6-3 is not too impressive, but lets not forget that two of their losses (Oregon and Stanford) are also the same two teams that took down UCLA. I look for Washington will win this game on the road pulling the upset behind their tough defense. Washington comes into this battle unranked with a record of 6-3 but their specialty is their defense and stopping the pass and UCLA is a pass happy team. 10* HOT SIDE

11-14-13 | Indianapolis Colts v. Tennessee Titans +3 | Top | 30-27 | Push | 0 | 23 h 0 m | Show |
Indy comes into this game at 6-3 and leading the AFC South, while the Titans sit two games behind them in second place with a 4-5 record. Tennessee is coming off a bad loss, letting the Jacksonville Jaguars record their first win of the season as the Titans had a season high 4 turnovers.
A win on Thursday puts Tennessee right back in the thick of things with a 5-5 record. The Colts are hurting on offense with the loss of Reggie Wayne. Defensively, the Colts aren't overpowering, and I think the Titans can take advantage. Tennessee has one of the leagues best passing defenses and they will not make things easy for Andrew Luck. Indy will need to balance the run attack with their pass in order to keep the Titan defense honest. I check with my offshore and Vegas contacts and 85% of action is on the Colts for this one which is very lopsided. The Colts were exposed this past Sunday and I am not so sure they are as good as we think they are. I like the Tennessee pass defense a lot in this game. Lets go with the home underdog on Thursday night with the TITANS pulling this one out 23-20. |

11-13-13 | Wright State +10.5 v. Georgetown | Top | 70-88 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
I look for a low scoring game here and the Value is clearly with Wright State who is one of the most experienced teams in the nation this year that will not back down from Georgetown tonight.
Wright State returns the bulk of their team and are front-runners to win the Horizon title this year behind an offense that works all so well together and is coupled behind a defense that relies on pressure that wears opponents down. For Georgetown, they lose their best offensive player in Otto Porter and Greg Whittington is more than likely out for the season with a torn ACL. Look for a tight game throughout and I like the underdog Wright St team on Wednesday night plus 10 pts. 5* |

On Monday night against the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Miami Dolphins will try to move past a week full of headlines involving alleged internal harassment between players and a league investigation into the matter. On the ground, the Dolphins average 97.6 YPG, which gives them the 22nd-ranked ground attack in the league. At 0-8, the Bucs bright spot is their 18th-ranked rushing game, which is averaging 107.5 YPG. TB is led by quarterback Mike Glennon, running back Mike James, and wide receiver Vincent Jackson to lead the team. With the exception of Jackson, that triumvirate doesn

11-10-13 | Cincinnati Bengals v. Baltimore Ravens +1.5 | Top | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
I love Baltimore who is 19-4 after a loss. The Bengals are banged up on both sides of the ball and just beat up especially on defense. Baltimore is too good and the Bengals struggle at Baltimore and this is a MUST WIN for the Ravens as they are 3-5 as the season is on the line and this is when this team excels. I expect Baltimore to come out and give maximum effort. They have lost their last 3 games by a total of 9 points. This has been a subpar year so far, and a win here would go far to start to right the ship. Cincinnati comes off an OT loss against Miami and is traveling for the 2nd week in a row, although they played on Thursday and get the extra rest, but have arch rival Cleveland on deck. They have lost in their 3 previous trips to Baltimore and come into this game banged up and without their best D lineman Geno Atkins and best CB Leon Hall. If the Ravens can pressure Dalton, he will turn the ball over as witnessed last week when he threw 3 Picks. Balt is 1-4 on the road and a PERFECT 3-0 ATS at home. 10* HOMECOOKING WINNER!

The 24th-ranked Fighting Irish have won the past three meetings against the Panthers by a total of 12 points, and could be headed for another tight finish Saturday at Heinz Field against a desperate Pitt team.Pittsburgh has had a history of keeping things quite close against Notre Dame as the last 3 meets were very close, The last five meetings between the Irish and the Panthers have been decided by six points or fewer, perhaps none more dramatic than Notre Dame's 29-26 triple-overtime win last November when Pitt blew a 14 pt forth Q lead. PITT is led by QB Tom Savage who has 14 TD'a and 7 INT's. on the season. Pitts plays relatively decent pass coverage, only giving up 59% completion to opponents, behind defensive experts like K'Waun Williams and Anthony Gonzalez who can both cover the pass They will give Rees problems and I'll back Pitt here to get the win and propel them close to a bowl game with a Saturday night upset. 10*

11-09-13 | BYU +8.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 1 m | Show |
BYU is a very good team and play well as underdogs. They are led by a hurry-up offense that has given opposing defenses fits with their pace. They have managed to open 6-2 with impressive wins over the likes of Texas (40-21), Utah State (31-14), Georgia Tech (38-20), Houston (47-46) and Boise State (37-20). Their two losses came by a combined 10 points early in the season, and they have reeled off 5 straight wins. BYU is putting up 32.4 points and 511.2 yards per game to rank 13th in the country in total offense. That 511-yard output becomes so much more impressive when you consider that the eight teams BYU have faced only allow an average of 398 yards per game defensively. They are outgaining that average by roughly 113 total yards. Its BYU's speed versus Wiskys Power with similiar styles here and I like the underdog. 5*

11-09-13 | Kansas State +3 v. Texas Tech | Top | 49-26 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
Kansas St is building a lot of momentum at the right time in covering their last 4 games in a row and playing great ball. And you better believe that at 4-4 this team is on a mission to become bowl eligible. With only 4 games left they are not going to leave anything on the table. On the other side TTech is reeling from getting pushed around and run over in the running game for the last two weeks. After their easy early season schedule over a bunch of cupcakes that made them bowl eligible and lifted Kliff Kingsbury to stardom as the new cool coach on the block, they are now getting hit in the face by the big boys. And now they have the best running team of all coming to town for a morning game. I love taking teams as dogs who have had back to back easy cover wins like KSU has. The Cats are playing well on both sides of the ball. And their defense has only given up an average of 10 ppg the last 2 games, and gave Baylor and OSU all they could handle in their two previous games. Lets back the old veteran coach Snyder coming to town. Good luck outcoaching that old buck. Lets back KANSAS ST here plus the points.. 10* GAME OF THE WEEK!

11-08-13 | St John's +5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 75-86 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
This St Johns team is loaded and very athletic. St. John's has 11 letterwinners, including five starters, back from last season's 17-16 team and welcomes freshman Rysheed Jordan, one of the most highly regarded high school point guards, to the fold. Jordan may be St. John's highest profile freshman since Felipe Lopez back in the early 1990s. "He's the best guard, the most explosive guard I've had in college and that includes Baron Davis," coach Steve Lavin said of his former star at UCLA. "He has made everybody better by the way he practices. He is going to be a very special player." JaKarr Sampson was the Big East rookie of the year last season after averaging 14.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in filling the shoes of Moe Harkless, a first-round draft pick following his freshman season with the Red Storm. Lavin said the team can be one of those that improves all season and becomes a factor in the conference come February.
This game is on a neutral court and I give the edge to St Johns here plus the 5 points as the Badgers have several things working against them. The biggest is the loss of Jared Berggren, Ryan Evans and Mike Bruesewitz, robbing Wisconsin of two top-3 scorers and its three leading rebounders from a season ago. |

11-07-13 | Oklahoma v. Baylor -16 | Top | 12-41 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show |
BAYLOR is very good! Pretty much this team has a very slim shot at a BCS Title game, but if they want to keep that slim hope alive they will need to win this game big and impress the voters and BCS. Oklahoma is not as good as in the past as did allow 30 points to Texas tech and 36 to Texas, so they can struggle vs good offenses. The Baylor Bears are good on defense and offense where they averaged 768.6 ypg and 70.6 ppg this year. The Oklahoma Offense has been inconsistent this year as they have averaged 31 ppg overall, but have also scored 20 points or less in 3 of their games and this Baylor defense is no slouch, especially at home where they have allowed just 292 ypg and 14.4 ppg on the year. Baylor has a ton to play for and are seeking revenge for last years loss. Waco will be rocking like never before on Thursday night, and the key will be whether the Bears can handle the atmosphere in a positive way, or if they come out too emotional and make mistakes. I expect Baylor to score over 50 pts here tonight and win by 20+ as our 10* Thursday Night College GAME OF THE YEAR!

Timberwolves newcomer Kevin Martin has benefited from Love and Ricky Rubio spacing the floor, averaging 21.3 points and going 12 for 20 from beyond the arc. Martin scored 23 on Monday, but Rubio was 0 for 7 from the field with five assists -- he had at least 10 in each of the first three games. Love also struggled at Cleveland missing every 3 pointer he took and the team only shot 36%. I expect a HUGE effort tonight in their home building and also playing with revenge from last year as they were swept 4-0 in the season series. I like the T-Wolves here at home to get us the cash!
